pair

[karazy]

i was wondering what the best pair of fish(like male and female) that would go into a 29 gallon(with a 20 gallon sump)

if possible try not to say clown fish, unless its a neatly shaped one(A.K.A. not shaped like occelaris or percula)

right now the only thing i can think of is a pair of bangaii cardinals or a pair of perculas

[Drock169]

if you have lots of money flame wrasse, helfriech's firefish, yashia ray goby's with a pistol, various other gobies all i can think of right now.

[karazy]

dont got too much money. im only 13 so money isnt exactly multiplying fast

[PoonTang]

Then how about some of the more exotic coloured clowns like black or a pair of gold striped maroon clowns?

[karazy]

can you put maroons in a 29 galon?

also i heard they can be a dink to your other fish

[PoonTang]

I thank that any pair of clowns can be agressive when their territory/eggs are being threatened. I think that a tomato is the worst tho.

[karazy]

haha, true. but ive heard that maroon clowns can get to 6 inches, isnt this too big for a 29 gallon?

[PoonTang]

Yes it would be. I am not sure how large they get without looking it up, it was just an idea.

[karazy]

haha, ok. well thnx for your reply:biggrin:

How established is the tank? If it has been running for a while then how about a pair of mandarin dragonets??

[karazy]

haha, its not set up yet :P

im just really trying to get my initial stocking plan.

how long would i have to wait to be able to put mandarins in?

[tlo]

clown gobies or bangaii cardinals
both will breed in captivity, I've never tried to raise the fry, but it is kinda neat.

Unless you get really lucky and can find a male and a female that eat prepared foods there is no way a 29g could support 2 mandarins. Please don't even consider it

A goby/pistol shrimp pair can be pretty cool

[SATELLITE]

what about a pair of fire fish. the purple ones look sweet

[karazy]

yeah. the only way i would consider having a pair of mandarins in a 29 is if they took prepared foods, or i had atleast 6 seperate jars of active pod farms

i was kinda liking the bangaiis because that way if i wanted to i could raise the fry and it might not be as hard as raising clownfish eggs
